10 Video Games Where Forgetting Cost You Everything
4. No Water Chip? - Fallout
Despite its limited graphics, the world of the original Fallout is a deeply immersive and atmospheric place. It’s easy to lose yourself in it, but be sure not to get too distracted, because it might just lose you the game.
Fallout 1’s story stands out among others due to the unique mechanic that is associated with it. The reason why your Vault Dweller leaves the confines of their safe and comfy underground home is because its residents are in a desperate need for water.
You’re tasked with retrieving a water chip to provide the Vault with a steady supply of this precious resource, but until you get one, you can alternatively keep your people alive with regular deliveries of water.
Just remember to do something about the issue, or else it’s an instant game over!
Many Fallout save files have been lost due to players forgetting about the main reason why they’re exploring the wasteland! Because it’s really easy to get invested in a side quest or a random event, the looming threat of mass dehydration gets pushed aside, only to remind you of its existence when it’s too late.
If you’re not one for making backup saves, forgetting your main task can cost your whole playthrough!
